Paying your electricity bill just got faster and more convenient. Consumers can now use QR codes printed directly on their bills to make payments online in seconds.
QR Codes Added for Easy Payments
According to Beyond Time News, electricity bills now include QR codes to simplify the payment process. With a quick scan using a mobile banking app or digital wallet, users can pay their bills without standing in long queues.
Officials say this step is aimed at improving customer convenience and promoting digital transactions across the country.
Important Tip Before You Pay
Consumers are advised to double-check their name and address on the bill before scanning the QR code. This helps avoid errors and ensures the payment is processed correctly.
Government Push for Cashless Economy
Earlier in March, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif instructed all government departments to introduce QR codes on bills. The goal is to make payments easier and support the shift toward a cashless economy.
During a meeting in Islamabad, he emphasized completing digital payment targets within the given timeline.

Growth of Digital Payment Systems
